Mackenzie has removed almost all of the
fungus growth that remained in the throat of
the German Grown Prince when he left home
The Journal adds, however, that since
the last operation was performed
the Prince has caught somewhat
severe cold, the result of which is that his
pharynx and larynx are both acutely congest-
ed, the parts in the vicinity of the growth be-
ing less affected than the others. The local
swelling has caused some difficulty in swal-
lowing but it is hoped that this will soon dis
appear. Tho case at present requires the
greatest care, and will require it for several
weeks. In the meantime surgical operations
on the Princes throat will be suspended. DR..
Mackenzie is not troubled at tho Princes con-
dition.

THE CONTINENT AT LARGE.

ENOUGH returns have been received at the
knights of Labor general headquarters.
says Philadelphia dispatch, to show
the adoption of the new constitution by
a two-thirds vote The German assemblies
voted against the clause providing that any
member or assembly introducing beer or
intoxicating liquors at any meeting or enter
tainment of the order shall be suspended or
expelled. The article providing for per
capita tax of not less than 2 cents per month to
create q fund for cooperative enterprises WAS
adopted unanimously. The General Executive
Board is given full power to settle all strikes
aud disputes, whether sanctioned by the board
or not and the boards powers are increased
in many other particulars. Hereafter each
district, State, national, or unattached local
assembly shall be entitled to one delegate to
each 5000 members or majority fraction
thereof, and the term of office is fixed at two
years. The National Trade Assemblies clause
is probably the most important of the changes
1t provides that any particular trade or call
ing may form q National Trade Assembly
provided two-thirds of the local assemblies
the entire membership of which is composed
of such trades, vote to do so; provided also
that not less than ten assemblies, if there be
that number in the order, may receive a
charter.

tragedy that occurred there recently, says a

safeguard against the disease. On the follow
ing day the neighbors noticing that there was
an absence of any signs OF life, informed the
police, and the door was forced open. Then
tho discovery was made that the workman
and his wife and their eight children were all
dead. The escaping gas from the coal in the

The Drouth of 1914.

From the unpublished letters of
Jefferson, appearing in the Southern
BtUouac, the following description of
the drouth Of 1913 is taken:
From the fork of James River and
the falls of other rivers upward and
westwardly, we have had the most
calamitous year ever seen since l755.
1t began with the blockade, SO that the
fine crops of the last year made in
these upper parts, which could not be
at market till after Christmas, we're
shut up by that and lost their sale.
After keeping my -four till the approach
OF the new harvest, / was obliged to
sell it, lest it would spoil on my hands,
at price which netted me only forty
seven cents bushel for my wheat, of
course, total sacrifice In the year
l755 it never rained from April to
November. There was not bread
! enough to eat, and many died of
famine. This year in these upper
regions we have had not single rain
from April IA to September 20, five
months, except slight shower in Nav.
